Who are you designing your app for? Is it meant for people of all ages and interests, or is it meant for a very narrow niche? That’s the topic Dave Wiskus addresses in the latest installment of his Better Elevation video series — what it means to design apps for human beings.
The last hundred years or so have brought us a very, very long way. From the invention of the telephone and the automobile to telephones you can use to… order an automobile, technology has empowered and enabled not just gadgets and toys, but massive changes in the way we design, create, and produce objects of every size and shape.
And there are roughly seven billion people on this planet right now. So… who is all this stuff for?
A lot of times apps seem built to provide a feature or to look a certain way, and sometimes those goals conflict with the needs of the person holding the phone, tablet, or mouse — or wearing the watch.
What Dave suggests — thinking about the human at the other end and working backwards — is a powerful exercise. Even if your app ends up the same, it’s because it should be that way, not because you just wanted it to be that way.
GasBuddy and GreatSchools are Apple’s latest Maps data partners

Apple has added a couple of new data partners to Maps. GasBuddy and GreatSchools are both now present in the Maps Acknowledgements site. However, data from either company has yet to appear in Apple’s Maps application.
GasBuddy lets people post and find gasoline prices in their area. From GasBuddy:
GasBuddy.com is a group of local websites which offers an online method for website visitors to post and view recent retail gasoline prices.
Meanwhile, GreatSchools rates schools from around the United States with reviews from parents, teachers, and students.
GreatSchools is a non-profit organization with profiles of more than 200,000 preK-12 schools – public, public charter and private – and over one million reviews from parents, teachers and students sharing information about the schools they know best.
As speculated by Apple Maps Marketing, it’s like that Apple is looking to integrate more local data such as gas prices and school ratings into Maps at some point soon.
Apple has recently made a number of other improvements to Maps. Last week, the company expanded their Maps Connect tool to to more countries, and earlier this week they added Flyover support for nine more cities.
